Fountain of the Mask in Roccagorga: water and stone in the heart of the village
The Fontana del Mascherone (Fountain of the Large Mask) is one of the symbols of Roccagorga, a monument of collective memory in the historic centre of this village in the Lepini Mountains. It takes its name from the featured sculpture: a face carved in stone, from the mouth of which the water flows.
Materials and restoration
The fountain is crafted from local stone and travertine. It was originally surrounded by a wrought iron railing, which was destroyed over time, and eventually restored in 1996, returning the monument to its original appearance.
